Unfortunately this isn't always an easy answer without checking a few things first! If pressure and not volume is the problem, then an inline pressure pump can be installed without the need for a tank. But if the prob is both then a tank of reasonable volume plus a pump would be the likelyway to go. Not so sure what the water board is like down in Newcastle but the tank would need to have an air gap to disconnect it from the water supply in. Some of the new water saving rainwater/mains connected tanks meet these needs but again your local water authority might want overkill and insist on you having a testable double check valve installed at the meter.

Check that the meter cock is turn fully on and if the tap ware and shower roses have been fitted with water saving devices before spending any money. Sadly I can't offer much more without having a look, but sometimes it is a hole (pun) lot cheaper digging. Hope this was a little bit of help!

Cheers Brad
